What was it that you said?
"Colbert was a disgrace...nuff said...hope he dies"
Your second post on FreeRepublic. Nice!
Whatever you are or whoever you are, I don't want to be associated with anything you say or stand for. Grow up, get lost or do both.
My thoughts exactly. See above.
Your post reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer refused to wear the AIDS ribbon.
I won't wear the AIDS ribbon . . . no matter what you say, and I thought Colbert had some good lines. The video tape he presented of the WH press room, that also included Helen Thomas, was his best work for the night. W and the impersonator were best of all, however.
Claudette Colbert was a friend of the Reagan's. IIRC there was a big deal made out of a trip President Reagan made to some island and the fact that he couldn't stay at her estate because of security. She is one of my favorite actresses, and I think her version of "Imitation of Life" is much better than the more popular one with Lana Turner.
There are some though, that can't stand to have their sore spot (Bush) poked.
What a room full of Dinosaurs. Why even dignify the Stone-age Press with an appearance. He was hysterical and the following act should fire his writer, painful to watch.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
Where did this guy, Colbert, come from?
He reminds me of Mel Kiper.
Inviting Plame & Wilson was truly a deliberate attempt by ABC to insult and irritate the Bush administration. Stupid move on their part. Elephants never forget.
The Demo's will never support him no matter what he does nor will the liberal jounalist media so that goal is unattainable.
By attending and "skiting" he laughed at them and their agenda, no small insult. They know he doesn't give a hoot what they think or print and he's not going to change, thank God.
They invited a soldier who lost his legs in Iraq. And the ruse backfired on the press as the President closed his remarks that in all seriousness, not a moment goes by when the President doesn't keep the US troops in mind. Then he said God Bless the Troops and God Bless the United States of America.
:-)
He didn't have to do anything special and he outclassed them.
:-) It shows class and it's also an opportunity to give a little of it back to them, which he did beautifully, he just did it in the guise of making fun of himself.
I think it went to the President's favor
:-) He did well, but the best were Reagan.
One was a clip of Reagan and Nancy, and he called on her to say something nice to the Press. She was silent. He cajoled her more, oh Nancy, say something, anything nice. She quipped, I'm thinking!
There was another Reagan clip in which he told a joke about a Republican politician going on a campaign. He comes to a farm and he asks if he could talk to them about his campaign. They said, sure, but we've never seen a Republican before, let's call the others. So while the folks are collecting, the politician looks for something to stand on so everyone could see and hear him, but all he could find was a pile of manure. No time to waste, he gets up on the pile, gives the speech and afterwards the folks said, wow, that was the first speech I'd ever heard from a Republican candidate! The politician said, that's the first time I gave a speech on the Democratic platform.
LOL
;-) I agree that the President did very well
:-) I agree, but I think that Colbert was just not in his element. A tv show is a lot different than a live engagement.
Plus his material was for a very slanted audience, under the age of what, say 25?
:-) Justice Alito was there. One of the charges by his drunken flatulence of Massachusetts was that Sam Alito was (gasp!) a FReeper.
He could have made it up, but I would like to believe it's true. One of these idiot savant episodes :-)
She needed a jacket
